https://spring.io/blog/2015/07/14/microservices-with-spring

Demo application to go with my Microservices Blog on the spring.io website.

Clone it and either load into your favorite IDE or use maven directly.

To access V1.0.0 of the repo, corresponding to Spring Cloud release-train Angel.SR6, click on the release tab in https://github.com/paulc4/microservices-demo.

You can run the system in your IDE by running the three servers in order: RegistrationService, AccountsService and WebService.

As discussed in the Blog, open the Eureka dashboard https://localhost:1111 in your browser to see that the ACCOUNTS-SERVICE and WEB-SERVICE applications have registered. Next open the Demo Home Page https://localhost:3333 in and click one of the demo links.

The localhost:3333 web-site is being handled by a Spring MVC Controller in the WebService application, but you should also see logging output from AccountsService showing requests for Account data.

You may find it easier to view the different applications by running them from a command line since you can place the three windows side-by-side and watch their log output

To do this, open three CMD windows (Windows) or three Terminal windows (MacOS, Linux) and arrange so you can view them conveniently.

1. In each window, change to the directory where you cloned the demo
2. In the first window, build the application using mvn clean package
3. In the same window run: java -jar target/microservice-demo-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar registration and wait for it to start up
4. Switch to the second window and run: java -jar target/microservice-demo-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar accounts and again wait for it to start up
5. In the third window run: java -jar target/microservice-demo-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar web
6. In your favorite browser open the same two links: https://localhost:1111 and https://localhost:3333

You should see servers being registered in the log output of the first (registration) window. As you interact with the web-application (https://localhost:3333) you should logging appear in the second and third windows.

1. In a new window, run up a second account-server using HTTP port 2223:
   • java -jar target/microservice-demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar accounts 2223
2. Allow it to register itself
3. Kill the first account-server and see the web-server switch to using the new account-server - no loss of service.
